'There's no point in testing because your meter might not be accurate. The ones we use at the surgery are re-calibrated every morning so we know they're accurate. So it's best to leave it to us'.
Me - So if I come to the surgery later in the day and you do a random test, it may not be as accurate as one done in the morning?
DN - Silence
Me - What about type1s, then? My BIL uses the same brand and model of meter as I do and bases his insulin on the results. Are you saying his doses are wrong or should he just not bother testing?
DN - even silenter silence
